Meant for people who run Claude Code for hours a day; a casual user will not notice the difference from Pro. | There is no fixed message count. A long session can use up the five-hour window, then you wait for it to reset; the weekly limit caps heavy use across the week. Claude Code draws from the same allowance. | You can give premium seats only to the people who need heavy usage and keep everyone else on standard seats, which is usually cheaper than putting the whole team on Max. |
